Cue the self-loathing doubters. . . . .

He's really not saying anything most of us don't know already. Not sure why the reaction as such.

Don't worry, be happy mon!!!
Some folks seem to think we are left for dead. Quotes from our own: "no playmakers except Grant." "One of the worst secondaries in the country."

Don't rain on my parade. Blue skies ahead.

Find me a tweet from any school on the BIG Tour that is negative. Could you imagine? "Ugh, RU is depleted, get ready for a long season on the Banks." They only send out positive tweets.
They could also have said nothing

(or at least more generic or neutral - ie, Rutgers working hard to prepare for a tough B10 sched)

Just my general outlook in life.

I want to party with you.
DiNardo's statement last year was great: "Rutgers looks like a B1G team."

I've noticed this often. Ash, Parker and even some of the positional coaches tend to wear windbreaker-style jackets with long sleeves or sometimes just long-sleeved shirts in BRUTAL hot weather. I find it awfully bizarre. I couldn't care less. But it is strange and interesting. Wonder if there's a reason for it? Long sleeves I get if they want to protect their skin but I don't think it's that. Not when the wind breaker is in the mix. Very odd.

Probably to protect the skin.

I am not disagreeing they are fan boys but "... looks like a B1G team." isn't exactly positive, they could look like Purdue or Ill and look like a B1G team, doesn't mean they'll be any good. Just enjoy some good publicity and feel good stuff for what it is, better than the normal jabs everyone complains about.

Exactly what I mean... "...looks like a BIG team" is completely generic saying something nice without really saying anything statement.

Where we going tonight???

I can't say enough good things about this team. . . .

Probably headed to Asbury Park Boardwalk tonight.

OMG,
The outside of The RAC looks even worse now that the indoor baseball/softball facility is right next to it. If someone will spring for the red paint, I have a few paint brushes !!!!!

BTN Camp Tour #Rutgers - Best practice we've seen to date. Impressive in many ways, physical, personnel, tempo, organization and efficient.

It will also be most interesting if they don the short sleeves no jacket look in november.

More tweets:

BTN Camp Tour #Rutgers Both Laviano and Allen look pretty comfortable in the new scheme - my guess is they will need and use both

Gerry DiNardo ‏@gerrydinardo 6m6 minutes ago
BTN Camp Tour #RutgersOffensvie line impressive and the option scheme gives them help with double teams and other O line blocking concepts

Gerry DiNardo ‏@gerrydinardo 8m8 minutes ago
BTN Camp Tour #RutgersDefensive scheme much like the OSU defense including man coverage - which will serve them well vs. matchup opponents

There are many people who swear that wearing longsleeve shirts in hot weather actually keeps you cooler. I have met many Latino laborers who will wear long sleeves all summer and swear it keeps them cooler than short sleeves.

Definitely true, but what Ash is wearing doesn't look breathable at all...

Can a guy who has thrown 3 career passes and was a WR last year win the @RFootball QB job? Zach Allen has a shot.



Tom Dienhart‏@BTNTomDienhart3h3 hours ago

The @RFootball offense has two good WRs in Janarion Grant and Andre Patton. The QB must get them the ball.


Tom Dienhart‏@BTNTomDienhart4h4 hours ago

Deonte Roberts is part of a rehabbed @RFootball LB corps that must develop quickly.


Tom Dienhart‏@BTNTomDienhart4h4 hours ago

Julian Pinnix-Odrick is all man, part of a @RFootball d line that could be one of the better fronts in the Big Ten.

Most comments about the tweets here are so predictable. The rain clouds guys dismiss them, the sunshine guys embrace them. So many opinions, so many closed minds.

I would normally agree with this, but when Gerry DiNardo says the practices are "Best practice we've seen to date. Impressive in many ways, physical, personnel, tempo, organization and efficient", I can't help but view that objectively as a positive statement about the state of the program.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only practices they have seen to date on the BTN Tour are the practices at Maryland. This is Day 2 of the tour. Not much of a sample. Still like the positive vibe, but context is context.

You're wrong lol.

Fair point but....

If they had said Laviano sucks a number of posters would be tripping over themseves congratulating the B1G crew for their honesty.

On the other hand if they say something good about the RB's people would be singing it to the high heavens.

I guess my point is nothing these guys say will change a single mind. Most people here have already decided what RU is or isn't.
